Data’s messy, and we don’t sugarcoat it. We dig into real-world stories—FinOps, data platforms, streaming, governance—with people who’ve been there, screwed up, figured it out, and can still laugh about it. No buzzwords, no corporate cheerleading—just curious questions, practical insights, and the occasional bad joke.

Scott Hirleman, founder of Data Mesh Radio, has a very diverse career, including a role as FinOps Manager. In this podcast, we sit down together to discuss his FinOps philosophy: cost containment, cost attribution, and cost forecasting. It's an insightful conversation on how to balance costs for data teams with both data and business considerations in mind.
